Yeah. That's pretty cool. I lived in Dallas for half my life and am surprised I never ran into the 8-bit guy at 1st Saturday or various users group meetings. I think we're about the same age. Love his channel, didn't know he was doing this. Thx for the pointer.

Or Mega65 which is already out (and great) https://mega65.org/

Yeah, haven't seen much about it but it looks and seems really cool! Buy why oh WHY doesn't the fscking landing page have the tech specs? I spent way too long trying to navigate their maze of documentation without finding a basic listing of the raw specs (and whether or not it's FPGA based, since that sometimes matters for retro computing). No dice.

Checked for a Wikipedia entry, but found only the "real" Commodore 65 that the Mega65 is based on, and it does not seem to have been 40X faster than a C64.

Finally found a German retailer's page, with some actual specs, yay [1]! So it is FPGA-based, in fact there's three of them if I understand correctly. Cool.
